How to organize XD files in a large project?

I'm working with a big and complex system which has hundreds of screens. The artboards don't fit into a single XD file so I have to create multiple files. What is the best way to brake down the scope and organize the XD files? By functionality / by clients / by user roles...?

Hi @rpavlyk-deleted , I think library features would really be helpful and I'd check videos on the subject like these ones (these are for organizing assets in a single file but should still be helpful for projects in larger scales) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX5fOqgYGj4  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zze4Vp-C_dY Hope this helps.

    Thanks, but these videos are more about how to organize styles within an XD file. What I asked is - how to organize multiple XD files that belong to the same project. I have so many artboards that they don't fit into a single XD file, there's no room. I need to brake it down into multiple files.

    Hi @rpavlyk-deleted, yes as I said these are for organizing styles in a single file but could give an idea about publishing/organizing libraries to be used across multiple files. If I come across something for multiple files I'll share, feel free to do so if you have any updates
